- Matrix
-
Oxidised fabric with orange core and red edges; brown to dark brown (PPL), dark brown to black (XP).
Heterogeneous matrix, non-calcerous with no optical activity.
- ca. 30-45% - Inclusions
-
Quartz (++; mono+, poly--), sedimentary rock detritus (-; quartz arenite), metamorphic rock detritus (-; low grade), feldspars (-; plagioclase), muscovite mica (-; el), glauconite (-; red body color), O/Fe (+), clay pellets (+; iron-rich, possible few grog fragments).
The coarse fraction consists of medium sand, the fine fraction consists of very fine to fine sand. Grains are generally rounded to subangular. Overall the fabric is very poorly sorted and poorly orientated, close to double spaced.
- ca. 40-50% - Voids
-
Small planar and channel voids, drying cracks and large vughs, moderately aligned, soil and calcite infill in vughs.
- ca. 15-20% - Diagnostic features
- The fabric is characterized by a heterogeneous oxidised matrix with no optical activity and high porosity. Dominant quartz inclusions with frequent opaques/iron oxides and iron-rich clay pellets, few sedimentary and metamorphic rock detritus, feldspars, muscovite mica and glauconite. Overall very poorly sorted fabric.
